pain in upper tummy?

So I'm 28wks 3days, haven't had any pains related to pregnancy and I'm pretty sure this one isn't either..it just scares me a little. If it gets any worse then I'll be calling my Dr to see what he advises.

I chugged like half a gallon of apple juice today because I just couldn't stop wanting it. Now all the sudden (literally came on in the blink of an eye) I have these sharp pains right under my boobs/upper tummy and they're concentrated in a small circle. When I push on the spot the pain gets a little worse. I've been waiting for almost 30 minutes for something else to happen but it hasn't. My baby is kicking, and I know it's not labor or anything like that. I'm just confused as to what else it could be?
If it's gas pain then it's the strangest gas pains I've ever had. I really don't think that's it, but apple juice is the only thing different I've had lately. Any thoughts?

The way you explain sounds like it maybe gas, if it dont go away by tomorrow go into emergency room for an exam.

I had this and was a different form of heartburn. The doctor gave me ranitadine and I haven't had it since. X

You drank apple juice which causes your body to produce gas to have a bowel movement.. you probably have lots of gas stuck in your upper abdomin!!
